Can an elderly reason use this item while sitting in a chair?

I believe an elderly person could use this sitting in a chair, they just wouldn't get the same benefit as standing on it and walking in place that's all. They'd still be getting beneficial exercise regardless of sitting down.

Probably not. I wouldn't use it in this way - but then I wouldn't try to do that with a wheelchair!!!

Yes it can. I used while at work sitting at my desk. Sorry for delay in my response.Sadly though my unit only lasted less than 3 months. Returned and credit was given but had to deal with the vendor. Keep your receipt.

It would depend on how much shoulder range of motion that person has and set up of chair. If the person has full range then yes it is possible it could be used. If not I can't see it working well.

Yes, u can use it on a chair or laying down. This is a dual voltage 110/220V

It's probably better to be shorter to use this, so your knees don't hit the table. The only problem may be that your legs aren't long enough for the full range of motion, but you can fix that by just moving your chair closer imo

If the person is small and the chair is braced or supported by someone else, yes. The chair itself is too light for a heavy person to do that in my opinion.

I don't think that would be a problem, I never thought about that. The only issue I've ever had is when I fold the leg rest back into the chair and it hits the platform sometimes. But my recliner is showing its age. I really don't believe that would be an issue. Good Luck.

Yes it can. It can be used sitting in, depending on balance, virtually any chair.

Yes you could but the chair is made for a small child and is very uncomfortable after 10 min of sitting

The item is quite large. I wouldn't want an elderly person worrying about getting up from a chair attempting to hold this thing. It really does need a table to sit on so you can use the sorting trays and puzzle base.

Yes . My 7 year old grandson knows how to use it .. I only let him try it when II am with him Just to be safe. I don't think I would let him use it by his self

Not really. It's really meant for standing. It would be uncomfortable to use while seated...unless you use a bar stool.

No. But may I recommend a pedal device? Both my father-in-law and my mother have used them while seated. Search for "pedal exerciser" and you'll see the choices. Mom's physical therapist brought one to the house.

I think your grandma could use the chair to watch out the window, I would be more concerned about comfort and strength. My mom has this same stool from the 1950's. It was much more comfortable and more stable. Perhaps you could get an upholstered chair to use. I would worry about her safety

Not really, unless you put it on a chair which is higher than the one you have it currently on.
